[CCHolley]

[TheFizzgigg]

[Titmawz]

Fuck that nonsense.. Primus WINS !

[BobbyBigTruck85]

man Les' bass always sounds sick, in a good way of course!!!!!

[zeppierichris]

omg... this bassline gives me a boner XD

[DanSemotan]

3:14 listen to that groove!

[DanSemotan]

Damn Larry is such a sick player

[DanSemotan]

Haha, I don't think Primus meant for us to bicker about it. We Suck!!!! :P Bob is fucking sick!

[buckethead41]

Primus is badass. They play some of the sickest grooves ever. C2B3 is really good too.

[hated1010]

primus rocks!!!!

[MrMisfitish]

Shut up and quit crying punk. YOU SUCK!

[davieh6]

PRIMUS SUCKS

[yourdefense23154]

This seemingly average comment will get hundreds of thumbs up for no reason. :D

[CrosscutSell]

@yourdefense23154 shut up fag

[ghostdog2041]

He forgot the shaved his head part!

[mythkid1208]

Let's see, so this song is about a friend of his who hung himself, and another friend you shot himself. It's so obvious this guy needs some new friends

[shamwoww]

FUCK ALL OF YOU!!!PRIMUS SUCKS!!!BEST CONCERT OF MY LIFE!!!!!

[mythkid1208]

Thumbs up if you the the eyes are cool yet creepy at the same time!

[Fry1077]

PRIMUS SWALLOWS

[BB605mod]

For whom that said "Primus sucks" -I think that if you don't like this kind of music it doesn't mean that it sucks, please open your mind!

[bojanks15]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[MWUchannel]

i am getting really tired of the "primus sucks" slogan, i dont think they want that slogan anymore themselfs

[dgreaserfy]

this song has really grown on me, i love that slow bass rif

[rigbchas]

I love Primus.. I'd have to say pork soda is my favorite album... Any of you guys ever check out Oysterhead? A great band as well.

[Kermatt11]

Primus Sucks, 66 people agree! Les Claypool for Prisident!

[BB605mod]

@Kermatt11 Ha! only 66 people agree but if you watch this video carefully you'll see that thousands of Primus fans do not agree with you guys.

[CoRRupT3dS3nSeS94]

@BB605mod

Saying "Primus Sucks" is the band's old slogan, that means you support Primus.

[NorthrendProductions]

@CoRRupT3dS3nSeS94

Les is sick of it...

[CoRRupT3dS3nSeS94]

@NorthrendProductions

Hence me writing 'old'

[STEVEMOR909]

Primus sucks!

[bizzyindmp220]

so my 1 yr old comment said i know this entire performance and would record soon as i get a webcam. 8 months saying the same thing

now here i am once again ILL RECORD SOMETIME

[SimonRivasV2]

If you really don't know about the Primus sucks thing then you don't know about Primus. It's an slogan they've had for themselves. It's not meant as insult.

[deransan]

@SimonRivasV2 It's an slogan

[marc340]

....whats with the Primus sucks thing?..theyre amazing!

[Murrtalica]

@marc340 its like saying primus rocks

[lemonkid44]

Primus is awesome.

Do not discuss the old slogan.

[Jd4eva626]

this is awesome

[stelmaker]

this is really shit...how could anyone enjoy this live sounds like a shit.....really just bad

[crayZtaco7]

@stelmaker

you are not needed on this video.

just leave.

[nuke97]

@ FenderJazz  how did you score this live performance clip from the legendary tour??

[nuke97]

Les Claypool.....master of the spooky bass line.

[CHEAPTHRILLONTHETUBE]

Primus sucks... NOT!

Primus kicks ass... very much ass.

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

primus SUCKS!

[CoolKodiak]

PRIMUS, PRIMUS, PRIMUS kicks ass !!

[mlleSatan]

Tour de fromage was fucking great

[XxRazorSharpClarkxX]

I've noticed, if anybody else was to write a bass line like this, it would probebly sound like shit.

[nuke97]

the eyes on the globes at the end of the song are super dialated......spooky.

[hectorod]

I remeber 6 year ago I used to sign this song to my son before bed time and he was just 2 years old...

[TomViolence12]

Kind of a creepy song to sing to your son before bed, I dig your style.

[kelthanius]

Your son=future serial killer

[hectorod]

Who knows, maybe one day my son will kick ur son`s ass... we`ll never know

[nyboy010101]

haha! truth.

[2992isthatall]

yea, don't be suprised to find your song dangling in the apartment where he lives soon

[Halo3sniper41306]

This song has a crazy story and a massive bass line . Deliciously eerie music with dark lyrics of a friend who commited suicide.....wont be hearing songs like this on radio folks !

[crashkidd34]

you would if i owned the world.

[ICPwithTwiztid]

I love how the bass line goes from all cool in the begining and then goes all like Scary Hardcore style! so awasome!

[codeaires]

I think this song is actually about one of Les' friends who commited suicide.

[SoleMan117]

I heard it was.

[ellomynameisjohnny]

So this is about a dead skinhead?

[lsoprimus]

Only Les can make a spooky bass line and thats why I love him!

[TareBear317]

Does anyone know if they'll tour again?

[seekinshadows]

Sweet! I was at this concert!

[codeaires]

This song has a very cabaret feel. Replace the bass with a piano and I can hear the Dresden Dolls doing this.

[crusteous]

Personally, this is the ultimate Primus song: catchy, complex and, ultimately, empathetic and human. It proves to me that Primus is not weird for weird's sake, but rather seeking a new way of expression. Wonderfull and brilliant. (Thanks, guys. I don't listen to you all that often, but my life would be poorer without you.)

[TareBear317]

"Pork Soda" has always been my favorite Primus album. This song is beautiful.

[LuckilyHeDied]

That may be the best youtube comment ever.

[rhombusskullvsteal]

I agree, the way everything comes together creates an unexplainable mindset this song in particular really brings you into les' mind

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

Hahaha! This is one of the first Primus songs I ever heard! Part of the musical conversion :P

[bizzyindmp220]

i learned listened to this live performance thru and thru for months and i got it down without a flaw... ill record it once i get a camera.

[ALoveEternal]

please do. I can't get the guitar solo down, or atleast the one on the album.

[kelthanius]

Definitely record it! We need more Bob covers on youtube.

[bizzyindmp220]

eight months later and i still dont have a cam. i kind of lost my precision with the slap/insta muted strum but i can relearn it quick. did it once i can do it again! and im getting a laptop with a cam.. finally.

[ALoveEternal]

no one else could've created this musical moment. Primus is truly unique. delightfully demented. 0_0

[19deadman76]

i love this funky ass shit...

[draconis93]

What do you think this song means?

[TareBear317]

It's about suicide.

[fishezbearz]

best fucking band and bassist in the fucking world!! their music is gonna love on forever!!!

[pothead303]

les claypool is a fucking bass god

[XdracoX117X]

woo

[balaach8591]

pork soda , tales from a punchbowl are awesome albums

[eddyheart]

I don't care what anyone says.  primus sucks

[EdgarPlaysBass]

This fucking rocks!

[proffesornutbutter]

all people ever talk about on primus videos on youtube is the primus sucks slogan. sad really.

[FenderJazz]

So true!

I'm thinking about disabling the comments on my video's because I'm getting sick of all those loser comments.

[VincentPrice111]

Finally some one else who knows that they hate that lame slogan, I constantly have to tell fans of Primus that every time I see "Primus sucks" on a video

[RacismIsSchism]

relax bro, it's just for fun, and if that upsets you oh well, primus sucks

[proffesornutbutter]

it doesnt upset me at all, just irritates. there are alot better things to be saying about primus other than people arguing the fact over the primus sucks slogan.

[MrBrightStar01]

Yes PRIMUS SUCKS..... I have seen them 3 times. Before they open the crowd chants PRIMUS SUCKS...

[blargento]

To quote Claypool himself at a show in 2006: "We don't say that anymore!"

He's quite tired of the "slogan" now, and it's gone back to actually meaning that Primus is a bad band. People who still say it are basically retarded.

[strung7]

I lost all my primus CDs in a fire... Its a damn shame...I must rebuild. Im gonna hang myself in the apartment where I live :) lol..... PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

[lordandromeda]

Primus live was designed for people on mushrooms or acid.

[highstick0]

I love the bass in this song! Claypool kicks ass.

[blueorion666]

I was there for this show, it kicked ass!!!

[pyrgosfein]

the live version of that song absolutely commands your attention.

[ALoveEternal]

so delightfully dark and retarded

[LittleMiss869]

oh shit yea what a tune

[fevershorty]

great song, no doubt

[codeaires]

I love this song so much.

[Halo3sniper41306]

Primus rules !

[InsaneClown2]

I had a friend that took a blet, took a blet and hung himself

Hung himself in the doorway of the apartment where he lived

His woman and his little bro came home from the grocery store

Only to find him dangling in the apartment where he lived

[Saladin126]

Oh damnit... wait... they used to say "primus sucks" didn't they? great... I nubbed myself out on the internet.

[smobag]

Awesome i was at this show. It was also the first concert i went to

[Dylanquinn666]

great way to start!

[Poonard]

Primus with Gogol Bordello and Cowboy Mouth!!! WORD UP!! thats what i want to see

[mrjangles1]

Primus sucks

[lunchboxprimusfan]

primus sucks was there motto

so hell ya primus sucks

i wish they did another tour with tim that would be the shit id go no matter where it was

[crimlaw2112]

they announced they will be in Michigan, check out the web site!

[ramdav]

primus sucks BIG TIME

[EmoShanker]

the whole pork soda album was amazing. even pork chops little diddy made me laugh.

[mrjangles1]

QUOTIN' DIS!

[grinningowl]

I feel no shame in saying i've had some of the best sex during this song, it IS that good i'm afraid :)

But hey, primus sucks, so i'm sure at least some of you knew that already...

[bfish420]

i dont understand how it is even remotely possible to have sex to this song. i mean i appreciate the candor and everything, but honestly.

[noyzone01]

well, i tried it and liked it...opportunity is awesome, and thanx for an impromtu hilarious idea that turned out good, LOL

[mormodaimon]

hypnotizing... it was awesome

[hairyhairy2x4]

awesome.

[mike400my]

mesmerizing...that beat is so hypnotic, have this show already but very pleased to see some video!!

[mickeyeball]

Pork soda is one of my favoriote primus albums bob is one of my favorite songs i also like mr krinkle, dmv , my name is mud and hamburger train. primus is one of my favorite bands

[Clyde311]

primus sucks! if you aren't a fan you wouldn't understand

[mitgas82]

what i meant was the guitar techniqe used at that moment in the song sounds cool and isn't that hard to pull off. i think it is called a harmonic arpeggiator..

[mitgas82]

you are right, i suck bad,...

[whoseurgranny]

you probably do....anyone who talks themselves up on the internet usually does. But hey whatever makes you feel good about yourself.

[mitgas82]

4:58 that is badass, and actually not that hard to execute

[whoseurgranny]

ehhhh......like to see you play the whole song mistake free. I hate it when people say primus is easy to play, half the time they are some noob 10 yr old.

[mormodaimon]

some songs are easy tho... like tommy the cat, i learned that in 5 minutes, just 2 chords most of the time, but they have friggin hard songs like this one or, DMV scissor man and Lacquer head

[whoseurgranny]

4:48  LERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[whoseurgranny]

badass.......

[Poonard]

i love in interviews when people ask him about this song, they think its a joke when in reality he actually had a friend who took a belt and hung himself in the doorway of the appt where he lived. i think people have a hard time thinking he could write a song like this about his dead friend.

[bowelrock]

Bob has to be one of the Best yet most tragic of all the PRimus songs

[bassfreeker]

Excellent! Need more of this show.

[wenslydale]

A just and worthy question.

[igywigie]

sweet, wheres the rest of this boot??

[Nick5379]

What?

[Marlowann]

The rest of the song, lol

[Sauron767]

dude its 7 minutes long? WTF? do you need more?
